We sailed on Celebrity Xpedition in 2013 and are sailing on her again in September. No ship is going to have a program that caters to children, but as long as they are able to do all of the activities, they should have a great trip.

My kids are old enough to go with us to do the activities, I try to include them in everything since they were very young. 

Thanks for your recommendation!

If I were to go with my children, I'd look at National Geogrpahic.

 

What do you mean ?

Celebrity is a high priced experience for a very average experience, the customer service during the booking is horrible with the follow up questions, requests to resolve an issue with our 10 day package literally not having a hotel night available on land before we depart. They do not care. I would go with Silverseas Origin.

I can only give advice as to the Silver Origin (Silversea's Galapagos ship).  A beautiful ship, and highly recommended.  But not if you have 2 children, especially if they are young. 

Thank you for your answer!

My trip is getting closer and closer and haven't taken a decision which cruise trip to take. Could you please recommend based on your experience a cruise ship that would be enjoyable for a family of four (2 children ) .

Thanks,

Buzios has incredible beaches and  some amazing sculptures/status, it's definitly worth taking a tour there. Joao Fernandes Beach is the best beach there (or maybe the most popular) it has very calm water which is perfect for a chilly swim or snorkling.

You're welcome

After doing some research, I found that Seaman Journey and Galapagos legends are the within my budget and fit the comfort and entertainment I am looking for.

It would mean a lot if could which should I choose for my next cruise trip, 

Thanks, 

I haven't sailed on it but I've been doing some research for quite sometime now since I'm planning a cruise trip this September, I found very good reviews across many websites and some of the praises were "welcoming staff" "well organized" and most imprtantly it's a fast ship which means you can get to many places in one day

I am looking to take my family of four on Cruise trip around September and it is the first time we try it, I would love to hear some useful tips that will make our trip easier and more enjoyable ( kids age 5 and 8  )

We are planning on cruising around Galapagos island and after I have done some research, I found that Seaman Journey has some good reviews. Would love to know if it is a really good choice and if there is any better alternatives. Thanks!
